¶1
Irmos: Let us all chant a hymn of victory unto God Who wrought wondrous miracles with His upraised arm, and saved Israel, in that He hath been glorified.
¶2
Cleaving unto Christ Who buried sin in the streams of Jordan, with mighty gestures thou didst cause the torrents of the passions to dry up, O divinely wise Marcian.
¶3
Theotokion: Thou didst remain a virgin even after giving birth, for thou gavest birth unto God, Whom the great Forerunner baptized in the streams of the Jordan with great trembling, O all-pure Mistress.
¶4
In being baptized, Christ doth purify our weakness, which had become corrupt through the passions. Him didst thou please with thy zealous abstinence, O father Marcian.
